Following its weekly meeting on Tuesday, the Future bloc issued a statement that the campaign against former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri intends to achieve malicious aims and distort the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), instead of reforming Lebanon’s politics and economy.
This comes in a possible reference to Change and Reform bloc leader MP Michel Aoun’s statement last week that the Parliamentary Budget and Finance Commission should summon all finance ministers since 1993—when late Rafik Hariri was first elected as prime minister—to question them as to “why there are no accounts in the country since then.”
Rafik Hariri was killed in a massive bombing in Beirut on February 14, 2005, that also claimed another 22 lives, at a time when Syria retained a tight grip over Lebanon.
“Those criticizing Hariri were previously responsible for the destruction of institutions and the dispersion of Lebanon. Some killed civilians and harmed [the country’s] economy abilities,” the bloc also said, adding that Hariri tried to rebuild the country when he served as premier.
